One Apron Too Many?

If you see a bandwagon, its too late - James Goldsmith
After having a late night...
I had a bit of a lie in 
&
Some adult play time...
Followed by breakfast in bed!
 At least the sun came out↓
 It looks like a change of bed linen is on the cards....
Someone spilt his cup of tea all over the bed spread!
I leaves a fresh duvet cover on the bed.....
Let's wait........
(let's see who puts it on the bed)
I caught up with this blog..
Hubby and son went food shopping...
I meanwhile I was putting on the washing machine and the tumble drier...
Besides a week's washing to do, I have four baskets of damp linen to wash!
Once hubby and son return from the food shopping.
We then have to go to town to pick up my Next order..
 We parked on the top of Car Park 4↓
 I gets a Christmas CD from HMV for the Christmas Party next week↓
Then I bump into 3 friends to chat to.
I say goodbye to them.
Back to the car in the dark..
Back home.
We switch cars...
 Checks the tyres↑
 The moon is out↑

Making Full Use Of Saturday Night!

If you're going through hell, keep going - Winston Churchill
I did my normal Saturday thing....
I caught the final hour of "The Sounds of the 60s"
Had lots of cuddles in bed while listening..
We even enjoyed breakfast in bed↓
 The sunshine is back \o/
 I went to get out a pillow case out of the airing cupboard, when I noticed the strong smell of damp!
4 basketful of linen all damp and needs rewashing.
The 13 year old boiler is leaking again!!!!
  I left a plastic bowl underneath from last time↑↑↑
Phones up the Council Emergency Department, they will send out a Plumber.
I had to visit the Sorting Office to find out why my parcel wasn't delivered today.
(The reason of the website, was my business doesn't have mail delivered today!) 
My house is open 24/7!
On goes the Santa hat...
 Off to my old job place↓
 It's locked away until Monday.
Hopefully I will receive it and not to one of the businesses surrounding my house!
Pops into Sainsburys...
I had to buy the last one↓
 (Pity you have to pay for the frosting separate↑)
Just had to buy a Christmas CD for Sexy Beast↓
 Got some cake tins at bargain prices↓
 Plus some cooking aprons was in the sale↓
 Coffee and nibble time↓
I have a late light lunch...
No sign of the Plumber...
 Eli Wallach, American actor (Magnificent 7, The Misfits, People Next Door),would have been 104 years🎈
 He died aged 98 in 2014
Greg Lake, English rock vocalist and bassist (King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer), dies of cancer at 69 years old in 2016

Now to give Sexy Beast a wash...
While listening to some Christmas tunes
While singing along,
The Plumber had arrived.
Once Sexy Beast had his wash,
Back home...
The plastic box was full of water under the boiler.
He said the water was from a previous leak!
Then he took off the front of the boiler,
Turned on the boiler,
The water was coming out of the condensing pipe...
Top tray has water,middle tray and lower tray was full of water.
He advised me not to use the boiler until his Manager comes to inspect it on Monday!
So no heating or hot water until they decide either they are going to replace the 13 year old boiler or replace the part that is leaking!
I won't find out until Monday.....
Once he goes,
I nip to Morrisons to get some swing bin liners
(I forgot to get this morning)
 
Gets back to pick up my Lollypop coat↓
 It can not be dried in the tumble drier,
I took it around to dry on my dad's radiator over night....
Told my dad on how much fun I am having doing the lollipop job 🍭
I went home,
Tea was done.
 Now to catch up on so much telly I have missed over the week.
Here we go....
